Default How'z This PSU?

Well I've come to the conclusion that my PSU must be behind all of the problems with my comp.So I was looking around Newegg for a nice realiable cheap priced one and found this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817153023 .Is this one any good,it looks good?Also will it fit in my stock HP case,and be compatible with my stock mobo?

Have you checked the temperatures? I think it may be overheating. What are the problems?

Should be compatible with the mobo I think only Dell uses proprietary connections. That is not a good PSU it only has 18 amps on the 12V line. Here's a better one:

Agreed with Bigval here. I might be a little concerned though that your case might be mATX, and that a normal ATX PSU will not fit your case.

Dont get that thermaltake, it only has 18a on the rails, i would trust anything under 24 or 26,
This rosewall falls under the same price of the thermaltake, and has 38a on dual rails.

Rosewill and XCLIO are not on my list of 'trusted brands' (they could be ok, just don't have experience with them, and haven't heard enough comments from users here either). I'd go with Bigval's suggestion for an FSP. Highly reliable brand. That one has 25A on the 12V rails (max total load). If you can spare $10 more, there is a 450W version with 29A on the 12V rails (max total load):

NIKO-TIME read my thread on the reason why I beleive that its my PSU http://www.overclock.net/nvidia/1016...er-issues.html .Thx for the link BIGVAL,but is there something under 40 dollars,cause I've also gotta take tax and shipping into consideration.

Honestly, I don't think you'll find anything decent under $40... I would not recommend anything worse than Bigval's pick. The PSU is one of the most important parts of a PC, and skimping on it will hurt you. (I've lost a motherboard to a bad one... and that was an $80 unit from an unreliable brand)
